If it were a Microsoft runtime that were missing, I'd expect to see a
slightly different error, such as "This application has failed to
start because the application configuration is incorrect." In that
case, there should also be more info in the event log.

That would be my suggestion. Actually, I'd throw libpq.dll at depends
and check from there down. There are one or two Microsoft libraries
that are sometimes missing and don't matter - let us know what it
complains about and we can comment.
